RANGERMOUSE

In the mid 80's my parent's myself and my sister were walking back into town (Mohill) after visiting my grandparents. About half way my sister, who was still in a pushchair started pointing saying "look at the train". She was pointing in the direction of the field where the C&L left Mohill heading for Dromad. Obviously there was nothing there as the line had been lifted 25 years beforehand. Being in a pushchair she would have been far too young to understand the line used to run there. I don't remember the incident myself as I was still young but even now my parents get chills when they remember it.

Typical when I'm not home this weekend. I was home last weekend and saw the old goods shed getting a tidy up.

The greenway, as far as I know, is planned to go North out of town and therefore wouldn't affect the line from Dromad. It is a lack of money and will that would prevent the line from being reopened and I'm sure the people who's driveway's and garden's the line would have to cross near Dromad would have something to say too not to mention the farmers.

Hopefully it will be a great weekend and I've no doubt there'll be loads of craic to be had.

Any particular era or just everything and enjoy?

Lovely work i would love to see your loco,s on a lay-out, do you have one?

Thanks for all the comments lads, im delighted with the response especially having seen some of the work that is on display in these pages.

Cheers lads, much appreciated, I did the bogies and underframes but you cant see it clearly in the pics.

Go raibh maith agat, and to everyone else for your kind words.

Thanks for all the welcomes and the comments, im delighted with the feedback, cant wait to get stuck in again.

Nice work, there - you can hardly make a GM too dirty..

Thanks, thats why i started with the baby GM, easier to cover over any mistakes with loads of grime, as for todays result, the less said the better

Thanks for the welcomes and the kind words, was weary about putting it up but glad i did now, I have a couple of 201s and 082 to get stuck into so hopefully i'll do them justice. Im from Lovely Leitrim TM, and as for the name, i could tell you but then id have to kill you.

Many thanks, may have to try another one to make sure it was'nt a fluke, anything thats free is always good.

Hi RANGERMOUSE & welcome to the sIte, you'll get lots of help on here, no charge, even the abuse is free, as for the weathering, it's just magic, pure " GUNDGE " keep up the good work,

Thanks for the welcome and your comment, I used Railmatch paints applied with an airbrush and Humbrol weathering powders applied with a brush, then coated with matt varnish.
